Hi all! For those of you who do or have done the 30 day shred and have used a heart rate monitor during the work out: How many calories does it say you burn? Which HRM are you using?

    I have a polar FT4 and I burn about 197 calories when i'm at a moderate pace on level one and I burn 234 when I'm really going all out with the workout.

    I just started using an HRM and it's the Polar F4.

    MFP used to tell me I burned 189 calories doing 30 Day Shred. Right now with the HRM, it's been about 242 calories burned for 30 DS.

    I'm a huge fan of the HRM. (And the 30 DS too)

    I only burned around 180 on 30DS level one with a HRM. It has a lot to do with your fitness level, weight, resting heart rate, etc. :)

    Just wanted to refresh this topic. I'm using a Timex HRM and I'm concerned that the calories burned reading is wrong. It seems much higher than others. I know that calories burned depends on weight and whatnot, but I think this is too big of a difference.

    I'm 5'5" weigh 188 and I burn anywhere from 208-230 for the warm up and workout ( not including the cool down or the extra ten minutes I do of stretching afterwards) hope that helps!

    I usually burn anywhere from 180-250.

    Question for everyone though - does anyone's HRM's glitch doing the 30DS? Mine (especially when doing ab work on the floor) will start beeping and tell me to check my HRM strap. It's NEVER done this for me during Zumba, etc....just Jillian videos when I'm on the floor.

    I use a Pyle. It was cheap. It says I burn around 250. If I work harder, I burn 300ish

    If it has a chest strap it could be that you lose "connection" in diff positions...

    also I think HRM are more for higher heart rates..and if it drops lower it could be the reason too.

    Well, I burn more than the PPs (around 300 when I'm really busting my gut) but I'm 185 and 5'6", so still in an overweight bmi. I also have a Timex, though, so I'd be interested in knowing if it's grossly overestimating.....although short of getting another brand HRM and wearing them both at the same time, IDK how to tell for sure :P Have you set your HRM to your correct weight? It might be reading higher if you haven't updated your weight in awhile.

    I will say that I've lost 20 lbs so far going off of what MFP tells me to eat + the readouts from my Timex HRM, so for me, at least, it can't be SO far off that it's been detrimental

    What kind of HRM do you have? My first one was a sportsline and it always lost my heart rate during floor exercises, especially planks. Now I have a Polar FT 4 and it never loses my heart rate! Its great.

    I'm 25yo, 5'3", 185lbs and I burn 230calories on level 1. I have a Polar FT4 and count the warm-up and cool-down. I have mine set to not make noise so I don't hear any beeping, but that is probaly just for telling you you are below your heartrate range.

    I have an ft4. I started level 2 just last night and burned an even 300 (pushing pretty hard). While doing level 1, I started out around 285 and by day 10, I was down to 245.

    I'm 5'6, 25 yrs old, 148ish lbs and been working out a little over a year. Hope that helps!

    I think I must be doing something wrong then. I have reset my weight though. I will check again the next time I do the 30ds. Hopefully it's just user error -.-*
